10 Mistakes People Make with Education (plus 1 bonus)

1. Think it's the answer to everything / all ills (it's only one answer, but not a panacea).
2. Don't realize that "learning" is a lifetime process.
3. Neglect their studies early in life and pay the price later.
4. Incur massive debts during college which paralyzes living afterwards.
5. Disregard (poo poo) the benefits of the public school system.
6. Overlook (mask) poor performance of the public school system.
7. Are students for life (their career is "going to school").
8. Deny (make it harder to gain) access to (discriminate).
9. Think that a degree on the wall equals competence.
10. Write off homeschooling as a legitimate choice and alternative.

BONUS Forget that the most important education takes place outside the classroom / formal setting.
